Krispy Kreme Releases State Fair-Inspired Doughnuts

What happens when the state fair meets a breakfast treat? A fairground inspired doughnut. Krispy Kreme has tapped into the popular foods that are commonly found during fair season and created two new doughnut flavors: cotton candy and caramel apple.

The new Caramel Apple Cake Doughnut is a traditional cake doughnut flavored with apple and glazed with a silky caramel icing. The Cotton Candy Doughnut is an Original Glazed Doughnut dipped in cotton candy sugar — the same signature bright blue color you'd find on the fairgrounds and at carnivals swirled on a stick.

To wash it all down, you can get an extra sugary high from the new Cotton Candy Chiller or Caramel Latte beverages. The chiller takes that same spun sugar and turns it into an icy raspberry-blueberry slush. The latte, served iced or hot, is topped with whipped cream and a caramel sauce.
